The year is 1775 and the American Revolution has begun. Lucy Killgrew, the thirteen year old tomboy daughter of a captain in a Massachusetts militia finds herself saving her mother from roving loyalists. As a result, warrants are issued for the young family’s arrest. Although Lucy and her mother take refuge with neighbors and are safe for the time being, Lucy becomes restless and decides to join her father. Tom Killgrew and the militia he commands have joined thousands of other rebel troops surrounding the British at Boston. Their reunion is bittersweet and over the next few days, Lucy becomes familiar with camp life. Just prior to the American troops entrenching themselves on Breed’s Hill, Tom asks Lucy to take a wagon and retrieve some much needed muskets from a nearby blacksmith. He also gives her 200 Willow Tree sixpence coins to pay the costs of the blacksmith’s supplies. While on her mission, Lucy disappears and never heard from again.
